Psalms 55
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Owulirize okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, togaya kwegayirira kwange.
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
Ompulire era onziremu, kubanga ndi mu buzibu, nga nsinda olw’okweraliikirira okunene.
3 because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
Mpulira amaloboozi g’abalabe bange; ababi bankanulidde amaaso ne banvuma nga bajjudde obusungu.
4 My heart is greatly pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Omutima gwange gulumwa nnyo munda yange; entiisa y’okufa entuukiridde.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Okutya n’okukankana binnumbye; entiisa empitiridde.
6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
Ne njogera nti, Singa nnina ebiwaawaatiro ng’ejjiba, nandibuuse ne ŋŋenda mpummulako.
7 Lo, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
“Nandiraze wala nnyo, ne mbeera eyo mu ddungu;
8 I would hasten myself to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.
nandiyanguye ne ntuuka mu kifo kyange eky’okuwummuliramu, eteri kibuyaga na mpewo ekunta n’amaanyi.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Mukama tabulatabula ennimi z’ababi, ozikirize enkwe zaabwe; kubanga ndaba obukambwe n’okulwanagana mu kibuga.
10 Day and night they go about it, upon the walls of it. Iniquity and mischief also are in the midst of it.
Beetooloola bbugwe waakyo emisana n’ekiro, ne munda mu kyo mujjudde ettima n’ebikolwa ebibi.
11 Wickedness is in the midst of it. Oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
Obutemu n’obussi obwa buli ngeri biri mu kibuga omwo. Buli lw’oyita mu nguudo zaakyo osanga bulimba bwereere na kutiisibwatiisibwa.
12 For it was not an enemy who reproached me. Then I could have borne it. Neither was it he who hated me that magnified himself against me. Then I would have hid myself from him.
Singa omulabe wange y’abadde anvuma, nandikigumiikirizza; singa oyo atakkiriziganya nange y’annumbaganye n’anduulira, nandimwekwese.
13 But it was thou, a man my equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.
Naye ggwe munnange, bwe tuyita, era mukwano gwange ddala!
14 We took sweet counsel together. We walked in the house of God with the throng.
Gwe twabanga naye mu ssanyu ng’abooluganda, nga tutambulira mu kibiina ekinene mu nnyumba ya Katonda.
15 Let death come suddenly upon them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Okufa kubatuukirire, bakke emagombe nga bakyali balamu; kubanga bajjudde okukola ebibi. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call upon God, and Jehovah will save me.
Naye nze nkoowoola Mukama Katonda, n’andokola.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, I will complain and moan. And he will hear my voice.
Ekiro, ne mu makya ne mu ttuntu, ndaajana nga bwe nsinda; n’awulira eddoboozi lyange.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many by me.
Amponyezza mu lutalo nga siriiko kintuseeko newaakubadde ng’abannwanyisizza babadde bangi.
19 God will hear, and respond to them, (even he who abides of old), (Selah) men who have no changes, and who fear not God.
Katonda oyo atudde ku ntebe ye ebbanga lyonna, aliwulira n’ababonereza abo abatakyusa makubo gaabwe era abatatya Katonda.
20 He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him. He has profaned his covenant.
Agololera emikono gye ku mikwano gye; n’amenya endagaano ye.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
By’ayogera bigonvu okusinga omuzigo, so nga mu mutima gwe alowooza lutalo; ebigambo bye biweweera okusinga amafuta, so nga munda mu mutima gwe asowodde bitala byennyini.
22 (Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee. He will never allow the righteous man to be moved.)
Ebizibu byo byonna bireete eri Mukama, ajja kukuwanirira; kubanga talireka mutuukirivu kugwa.
23 But thou, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee.
Naye ggwe, Ayi Katonda, olisuula abakola ebibi mu kinnya eky’okuzikirira; era abatemu n’abalimba bonna tebagenda kuwangaala kimu kyakubiri eky’obulamu bwabwe. Naye nze, neesiga ggwe.
